Sugar Sings Sweet

Today I poured another kilo of sugar into the empty jar. Rationing of sugar in a family is something which I, why only I, many households never thought about. Sugar prices have shot up within a few months.

Who has given the Shot at the rising prices of sugar? Of course the government and the concerned Minister. How much it may rise, with direct shots, my cup of tea is not going to go without sugar. Hey! I need sweetness in my tea.

Minister says ration your sugar. But we don’t have a Ration Card? Pheeew?

Minister says many people are suffering from Diabetes, eat less sugar. Haaah!!!

Minister, those who are not suffering from Sugar Ka Bimari will no doubt suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. Ummm###

Some suffer from Diabetes and others are made to suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. One way or the other the rise in sufferers from health problems are going to go up.

Standing at the cross roads of the Sugar problem in this country with the rising price, people will no doubt consume sugar even with the rising price.

After all Sugar-Sings-Sweet.

Lemon TV – the RKB Show and Rakhi Sawant

Saturday evening, late evening, I was lazing on my bed and surfing the channels. I was in no mood to watch TV but wanted to pass my time. I stopped short when I saw Rakhi Sawant. It was the RKB Show on Lemon TV and Rakhi going live on the show.

I don’t know when this episode started, but I was there at some point. RKB was telling Rakhi the show was being telecast unedited.

Watching Rakhi is entertainment for me. I don’t take her seriously; she has a volume that blows loud her words. RKB asked her about her Swayambar programme on NDTV Imagine. It was a Reality Show. She said she was had been engaged to Elash in this reality show but now her engagement is broken…not interested in reasons…

This brings to mind how much we can trust the happenings of a Reality Show? But as I said earlier, viewing a reality show on the TV…if you’re not a regular for the show and don’t get totally engrossed in it…can be a time-pass for the moment in time you want to spend watching it.

At times I feel Rakhi has a loud voice and there is some honesty in her words…but not in total entirety.

After all it’s personal choice…likes and dislikes.

I really enjoyed those minutes watching this show sans seriousness.
